[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Under the eyes of the gods, Hades, Hera and others left without attending the subsequent feast.

Walking out of the temple, you can look up at the blue sky, as clear as a flawless crystal.

Needless to say, their mother goddess and brother Zeus were being congratulated by the gods.

But what does it matter to them?

Hestia came out after them, but Poseidon didn't see Demeter and asked his elder sister, "Where's Demeter?"

"She wants to stay." Hestia said flatly.

She couldn't influence Demeter's thoughts, but it chilled her that her sister, who had spent so many years with them, would side with Zeus.

Poseidon's fiery temper heard this and wanted to yell and go in and pull out this sister who was not on the same line as them, but what was the need?

It was with this heavy atmosphere that they returned to the Hesperides.

Compared to Mount Olympus shrouded in holy light, Hesperides is their home.

Hestia returned to his palace, and Poseidon, who was usually the most talkative, walked away without saying a word.

On the night of Hesperides, the starry sky should be the same as that seen on Mount Olympus.

"You see it, don't you?" Hades is not Poseidon. In the temple, he saw clearly what Rhea and Zeus did.

Hera would not be ignorant.

These eyes, which are close to the color between the sky and the sea, stared at the starry night scene in front of him, but the vast galaxy couldn't match his drooping eyes. "I know." Hera said.

Then why don't you speak out?Hades wanted to blurt out this sentence but couldn't.Why should he expect his younger brother to say something he didn't even say himself?

Think back to where today was before.Hades thought of Rhea's protection of Zeus, her cold eyes towards herself and Hera...

What's the use of saying it?

Even if you know that you have been deceived, the previous lottery was unfair, but what is the use?

Thinking of this, Hades was silent.

His green eyes became deeper, as if the shadow of something blocked this clear and beautiful jade.

"Is that what you meant by letting fate decide?" Hades said.

What has happened and cannot be changed is fate.

"Yes." Hera looked away from the sea of ​​stars and landed on Hades' face.

He touched his elder brother's cheek with his hand and said: "As I said, Zeus, Rhea and those behind them are doomed that the three of us will not be able to get the position of God King."

Hera knew it from the beginning.Rhea and Zeus will definitely play tricks in advance in the selection of the king of gods, and the person who can finally sit in this position will not be any of them.

The king of gods can only belong to Zeus.

When Rhea rescued Zeus from Olympus with a stone, it meant that she also chose to abandon them.

When Hades saw Hera's indifferent appearance, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

This is how Hera knew everything and watched it happen coldly, confirming her own destiny.

He didn't feel sorry for himself, but he felt sorry for his younger brother Hera in front of him.

Now, both he and Poseidon belong under the witness of the gods, but what about Hera?Just stay on Mount Olympus as a main god?

The position of the main god may be indeed noble for ordinary gods, but compared to the lords of the three major gods?

Nothing...

Hera read Hades' thoughts in his eyes and smiled meaninglessly.

Hera might not care, but Hades couldn't help it after all.

The division of forces has been decided, and both Hades and Poseidon will go to their own gods.

Hell is not only the territory of the original god Tartarus, but also a prison for countless powerful gods. It is not easy for Hades to truly obtain the godhead of Hades.

The same is true for Poseidon. The control of the sea has always been in the hands of Pentheus and Oceanus.One of them is a primitive sea god who was born at the same time as the heavenly father Uranus, and the other is the lord of the sea that commands the three thousand sea gods around the world.How could they accept a three-generation god as the sea emperor?

After Hades and Poseidon left, Hestia also left.

Zeus promised her at Olympus that she too would become a main god and built a new main temple for her to live in.Although he was reluctant to part with Hera, Rhea took the initiative in this matter, so Hestia had no choice but to leave.

The originally lively Hesperides became quiet, but with the presence of the dragon Campe, it was not much quieter than other places.

Hera is also one of the main gods, but he just went to Olympus to choose a place to build his temple and then left.

No matter how good Olympus is, it is not as comfortable as his Hesperides.

Perhaps Rhea still felt guilty for Hera, the only son who did not become the lord. She did not intervene in Hera's affairs, so Hera could still stay in Hesperides.

But this dissatisfied Zeus, the new king of gods.

But Hera didn't care what Zeus thought.

Hestia often travels between Olympus and Hesperides.

She always brings Hera new news that cannot be heard here.

"Now there is a new kind of creature on the earth, called the human race." Hestia said.

Because of the existence of the human race, her godhead finally condensed successfully!Unlike Hera, she was not born with a godhead. Although she was a fire god, she did not have a real godhead until the appearance of the human race.

One of the main gods of Mount Olympus, the kitchen god Hestia.She is the Goddess of the Furnace, the Goddess of Fire and the Guardian of the Human Family.

Hera was happy for Hestia when she got the news.

He took out the pomegranate wine he made himself.

The wine in the crystal wine bottle was red like blood but exuded the fragrance of pomegranate seeds. After tasting, Hestia was full of praise for it.

Putting down the wine glass, Hestia said: "The human race may become the master of the earth."

Although the human race is weak in body, they are naturally intelligent, and their potential abilities amaze the gods.

For Hestia's words, Hera was curious about this new race.

Even if you stay in Hesperides for a long time, you will feel bored. It may be a good choice to find an opportunity to walk on the ground.Hera thought.

Besides this news, Hestia had another more important news to tell Hera.

"Do you know Metis?" said Hestia.

"I know." Isn't Metis the daughter of Zeus' wife, Ocean God?Hera still remembered what happened in the waters under Crete before.

He didn't feel good about Metis, but he couldn't say bad either.

Hera, who has been very indifferent to things like feelings since birth, can't be moved by anything except Hades and Poseidon's brothers.

He always feels that his lack of emotion is the problem that distinguishes him from other gods, and he has never succeeded in trying to change it.Perhaps this is why Hera doesn't like to talk to people, which makes people feel arrogant and domineering.

The perpetual indifference on Hera's face was too inaccessible, even though he was very good-looking.

"She is pregnant but Gaia prophesies that her son will surpass his father in power."

Hestia's words reminded Hera of the heavenly father's curse that the king of gods would be overthrown by his own children.

Will this curse continue to Zeus?

"So?" Hera said after waiting for Hestia.

With sympathy and regret for Metis in Hestia's red eyes, she said, "If it's not the death of the child in Metis' womb, then she will die."

After the Cronus incident, presumably Zeus would not be merciless and disregard the stability of the position of God King because of the crime of killing God.

Metis and the child, one dies and the other stays, this is a dead end.

Hera thought of the goddess with a pair of water-colored eyes, her voice and smile, and the faint smile on her lips.

After Hestia left, Hera did not leave Hesperides to see the newly born human race.He still stayed here all day long with the dragon Kempey.

"Can't you grow up?" Hera asked Campe, but Campe's answer was "No."

Everyone knows that the appearance of a god at its peak is an adult appearance. As a hell dragon, Campe's upper limit is too high. In order not to highlight the highest limit of this world, he can only exist in the appearance of a teenager.

Thinking of this moment, Hera suddenly had an idea.

There are other worlds beyond this world.

But this thought was like a meteor, and it disappeared from his mind the moment it appeared.No matter how Hera thought about it later, she couldn't remember the question she thought about before.

After some time, Hestia came again.

She brought new news.

"Metis was eaten by Zeus." The ending of Metis turned out to be the same as that of Hera and Hades.

But for Hera and Hades, that was not the end of life, but it was for Metis.

"Her daughter came out of Zeus's mind," said Hestia.

She couldn't forget Zeus's headache in the Temple of Olympus at that time.In the end, if the gods hadn't proposed to split his head, it is estimated that such symptoms would follow Zeus forever.

Thinking of the goddess named Athena, the daughter of Metis, Hestia smiled sincerely.

Although the relationship between her and Metis is not good or just an acquaintance, Athena is very congenial with her.

Trance is an adult goddess with bright eyes and bright teeth, with a graceful demeanor, and holding the innate shield Aegis, she has become one of the main gods of Olympus.

Gaia's prophecy was correct, and if Metis gave birth to a male god, it might really overthrow Zeus's theocracy.

Time passed very quickly, and Hera also went out several times, bringing back new creatures each time.

He went out for the first time and brought back lilies on the earth and planted them in the garden of Hesperides.

He went out a second time and brought back to Hesperides a bird with blue and green plumage called the peacock.

He went out for the third time and brought back a goddess to Hesperides...

"Hera, you..." Campe was stunned.

Although he knew that Hera liked to wait for small animals and plants to come back, he didn't expect that Hera would bring people this time, and it was still a female god!

Could it be that knowing that Poseidon has married a wife, he couldn't help himself?

The dragon's thoughts were directly expressed on his face, and when Hera saw this, he couldn't help but punched him hard on the head.

"It hurts! Can you be gentle!" Campe said to Hera, holding his head.

"Will the hell dragon feel pain because of this small stroke?" Hera taunted.

Aerys stood aside and watched the interaction between the god and the dragon, and rolled his eyes with a smile.Her clear and beautiful appearance is like a pansy flower in the sun, which makes people feel happy when they see it.

This maiden-like goddess is the daughter of Taumas and Electra, the goddess of the rainbow.

Whenever it clears up after the rain, a colorful bridge will appear in the sky, which is the trace of the goddess passing by.

Hera had no choice but to take her back to Hesperides because of being entangled with Iris, but knowing that Campe's thoughts were so dirty, he couldn't help but do it.

The dragon Campe really owes his mouth and thinks too much.

Hera, who taught Campe a lesson, visited Hesperides, who had entered except Hades Hestia and others, and arranged for her to live.

From today onwards, the rainbow goddess Iris has become Hera's messenger.

Aerys accepted the mission with a smile.

Since then, in the pure land of Hesperides, besides a beautiful god and a long-winded dragon, there is also a goddess Iris.
